ME: Why do you use a quote from a creationist website instead of the REAL words of the Bible?
YOU: What are you talking about? I cut & pasted Job 40:15-19 out of the NASB word for word.
Please show me where the following is quoted from a bible. Your long list does not include it.
“All with tails like a cedar?”
This is what you are guilty of ...

Movements, Not Size
Behemoth, in the passage, is said to have strength in his hips and powerful muscles in his belly. However, the next verse after that is an unwitting victim of deliberate verse and quote mining. What do I mean on that? It means the creationists have misquoted the verse on purpose. They took the verse out of context and distorted it to make it to be exactly what they themselves wanted it to say instead of the other way around.
The verse in full context says,
“He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.”
But creationists took that verse and distorted it to make the verse erroneously say,
“His tail is like a cedar: the sinew of his stones are wrapped together.”
In their reasoning, as illustrated in it many of their literature including Duane Gish’s book Dinosaurs by Design, means that the tail of Behemoth were as big and thick as a cedar tree in comparison to the tails of the hippo and the elephant that are very small. Thus, confirming the notion of Behemoth being a sauropod dinosaur because unlike the tail of an elephant and the hippo, sauropod dinosaurs has huge, long, thick, chunky tails that can easily be compared to a cedar tree.
Even Allan K. Steel, on this page from Ham’s infamous site make claims of this falsehood by giving out what he claims to be technical explanations of what he claims Behemoth was really by giving out a whole list of the same verse he misquote in purpose coming from different versions of the English Bible and concludes that the tail of Behemoth is a lot like a cedar tree. Thus, Behemoth, according to Steel, is indeed a dinosaur because its tail is exactly like a cedar tree.
This is flat out false. The verse in full context does not say “His tail is like a cedar.” The verse actually says, “He moveth his tail like a cedar..” which means that there is absolutely nothing in the verse that says anything about the size of the tail. Instead, it only has everything to do with the tail’s movements and nothing else.
